Summary: The hotel itself is beautiful and staff was very nice and organized within their capacity. Bungalows over the water are truly amazing! Administration, though, is another story. Our two night trip was shortened to one by them on the day of our reservation. They sent me a message an hour before we were supposed to be picked up from our hotel in Cartagena to be taken to islawa. They arranged a home for us to stay in that night in Cartagena. Our group was large (10 people plus 10 suitcases which we were very clear about beforehand) and the provided transportation was for half that many people and no suitcases, which we were actually charged for! The boat they provided to the island was also for half that many people, but at least this one was not charged to us. I think they are very understaffed and cannot provide the service they promise. They mean well and try to correct but just aren't capable of delivery.

Summary: This is a beautiful, somehow new property surrounded by peace and quiet. I traveled with my family (5 adults) and we rented 2 rooms. My room initially had some odor issues with the sewer and hot water, but staff resolved it quickly once reported. Be aware that the property is very isolated—there’s nothing nearby—so you’ll need to adjust expectations. Management support and additional staff would be helpful, especially during peak season. The kitchen operates on a limited schedule, with dinner service closing by 8:30 pm, and some drinks or items were unavailable. While the staff are kind, the lack of management and resources was noticeable. We even shortened our stay by a day as options ran out. Although no credit was given (per policy), I understand. Future travelers should know: the views are amazing, but there are limitations. Thkyconsfeedbintacte?

Summary: When we got there the staff was attentive and courteous, but we had to wait like 20 minutes at the dock because the boat wasn’t there and people harrassed us for tips to take the bags out of the car. Then when we got to the hotel the check in was quick and easy, but the hotel didn’t put any clean towels to shower. And the bed sheets were dirty as well as the pillows, because the AC dripped dirty water on them. We asked for towels that same day but they didn’t have any clean, so we had to wait to the next day when the cleaning lady came by.

Summary: I’d like to start by saying this was an amazing experience. - Expect Baru Island prices - you are also welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks there’s a fridge in every room! Staff is incredible and welcoming - front desk both the lady and the man are incredible! Bartenders… amazing. Overall - everyone is nice and polite- definitely coming back! As for the hotel itself I’ll say this: paradise. Baru itself is far away from the city so expect open roads (if you can afford to pay oxen transportation take that - much cooler) The hotel will handle your transportation!

Summary: The island itself is very beautiful and is a great escape. Lots of great food options at the restaurant. However, on our first day the property lost power for the whole day. I would’ve assumed there was a backup generator. Also, I had to keep reminding the staff for towels each day, and they would give me 1 towel every time.

Summary: Great place and highly recommend it. The staff are wonderful and it is a peaceful place for the most part. The rooms are hot however and there is an AC but it has a hard time to keep up with temperatures and the fact that the rooms are not sealed. This is a plus for breezes which is amazing but hot otherwise. A beautiful getaway with my wife. Some of the staff speak some English and I could also try to practice my Spanish a bit.

Summary: We stayed for 7 nights and had the most relaxing of stays. The staff paid attention to all details. Jesus, Dana, Beatrice, Alberto and all the other lovely staff were friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. If you are looking to disconnect and enjoy a relaxing time, this is the place to visit. As a bonus, all of the food we had was delicious.

Lauren Apr 26, 2025 12:02:53 AM

Summary: Entire staff was excellent. Since it’s such a small boutique resort they really catered to us. Even remembering how we took our cafe con leche. Food was excellent as well. Loved our room and hearing the waves crash through the night
